You cant have it both ways It amazes me that "pros" feel like they are being mistreated for taking the same chance working guys like us take. :eek: It's not like they don't have an advantage already of experience, talent, skill whatever, but heaven forbid they have to play someone else that is...

I just don't know what to say.... What's truly sad is that because of idots like this, there are people that think all young black people are either thugs or drug dealers of some sort. This kid is a wanna be rapper flashing someone elses money and jewelry, and the irony of this is that...

Where do I start? Well I just want to start by thanking you Gene and saying that I really enjoyed the lesson. This isn't the review thread, so I will keep it short, but I will say that you ABSOLUTELY changed the way I look at a shot, and it changed it for the better. I wish you well in your...

Psr When I start running through a rack I break my PSR and miss easy balls or get out of line. I work on it for a little while whenever I practice.

Sure does It's a mental thing for me. I hate bartables. I can play on them, but add me to the list of 9 foot players that feels "handcuffed". On a bartable your stroke power, and shotmaking, really go out the window. Most shots are around 3 feet if you keep the cue ball in the center of the...

Awesome!!!! Will be headed your way next week!!! Congrats, and as far as the tables go, I don't think anyone here would turn thier nose up at ANY table. How you treat your customers is more important. We are really lucky to have another pool hall open when so many other cities are closing...

Horrible When I went to Dallas I couldn't believe how bad the pool scene was for such a huge city. We thought they were joking when the locals said there were no Diamand tables in Dallas. That was last year at the Ultimate 10 ball. Guess it hasn't gotten better.

Names travel fast! When you have to start using fake names just to get action.... (Not that I would know...I'm usually the guy everyone is looking for :frown:)

I never believed I would say it but. What do you call the ability to do something at a young age that others are simply not able to do? Talent. Plain and simple. Tiger won junior world Championships at 8 Williams sisters started winning around age 10 Jordan won NCAA championship at 21 Picasso...

I'm a feel player, I don't really aim at anything. When my mechanics are good, I make the balls. No doubt. Maybe we all have our own problems, aiming was never mine. Mechanics have been tough to learn and keep under pressure. You need both to play good. But I think a good stroke is much more...

Wierd I actually started playing better when I stopped thinking about aiming :sorry:. Guess I hit enough balls to feel my way through most shots.

Good question I have about $1000 out of pocket in it. (Was actually in a 3 cue trade) It was the only way I could justify paying that much for it.

Wow Arkansas on AZ If you would like to take I road trip down to Dallas for Pool School I might be available depending on the timeframe. It's a great school and the best money I ever spent on my game. And the diamond tables at beezers have pockets that are much more forgiving than the ones we...

Funny That is my biggest stroke flaw. First it was alignment, then it was the steering at follow though. So I had a double issue. Luckily I can tell now (after about 2 years) when I am getting unwanted spin on the ball. I do it on mid to high speed shots when my elbow drops to far, and goes...

Straight stroke for me Oddly enough, once I straightened out my stroke i didn't have to "aim" anymore at all!. My pocketing abilities increased and I was able to focus more on cue all control. I still miss, but its becuase of poor planning or bad positioning, and I have a tough shot. Just my...
